From his childhood, education, cooking experience, significant other, net worth, social media profiles, and more, discover more about Amaury Guichon.

Early Upbringing

Despite growing up in Geneva, Switzerland during his formative years, Amaury Guichon was actually born in Cannes, France on March 15, 1991 (per my-vb.com). At age 14 in 2005, Guichon moved to Paris and came of age in the Haute-Savoie area of France.

After two years spent in France working at the esteemed Ecole Hotelier Savoie Leman, he realized savory cooking was not for him. Guichon moved back to Switzerland in 2007 to pursue his passion for pastry cooking (per MG Academy).

Educational Background

Once Guichon decided that being a pastry chef was his destiny, he enrolled in the prestigious Thonon-les-Bains in Paris and trained for two years from 2007-2009. According to MGA, Guichon did so well in class that earned first place in the Apprentice Chocolate Showpiece Contest. Once he realized his passion for chocolate, Guichon remained in Paris to finish his pastry training at Lenotre Culinary Institute.

By 2010, Guichon was becoming such a prominent name in French pastry that he was named one of the best apprentices in Paris by the Ministry of France (per clementdesginusa). Guichon also earned an Advanced Pastry Skill diploma around the same time.

Culinary Advancement

By the time he hit 20-years-old, Guichon began amassing a trove of culinary awards, honors, and accolades that continued to advance his prodigious career. In 2012, Guichon won the Region Contest ‘Delices de la Mediterranee’, for which he bested the most experienced pastry chefs in the area (per clementdesignusa.com). By age 21, Guichon became executive chef at Hugo and Victor in Paris (per MGA).

Before hosting the popular Netflix reality show, Guichon placed third in 2013 on the French cooking competition TV show Qui Sera Le Prochain Grand Patissier, which landed him an invitation to work at Jean-Philippe Patisserie, an upscale bakery in the Aria and Bellagio hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Founded The Pastry Academy

After relocating in 2014, Guichon continues to reside in Las Vegas, where he is renowned for being one of the most talented and creative bread makers and chocolatiers. During his time in Las Vegas, Guichon founded The Pastry Academy in 2019 at the age of 28. This experience has certainly helped him host his new beloved Netflix reality show.

According to The Pastry Academy’s official website, Guichon offers a 10-week course for budding culinary students that includes breadmaking to go with confectionary items like chocolate, candy, cakes, ice cream, pastry, plated desserts, and elaborate edible showpieces. The class enrolls 18 students per course and lasts 400 hours.

Hosts A Masterclass

Once Guichon moved to the United States in 2014, he almost immediately began hosting Masterclasses around the world. More advanced than the 10-week pastry program offered by The Pasty Academy, the Masterclass is an immersive, hands-on advancement for professional pastry chefs to take their dazzling showpiece skills to the next level. The price is $2,500 per person.

Filmed for online video access as well, the Masterclass offered by Guichon is a global hit that has continued to grow in popularity over the past seven years. At its core, the course offers “for the first time, he (Guichon) will demonstrate the proper way to balance aesthetic and structural foundation.”

Has A YouTube Channel

In addition to hosting a Masterclass, Guichon launched his own YouTube channel in 2013. The page was largely dormant until 2020 when he began uploading some of his most stunningly intricate edible showpieces that continue to grow in popularity.

With over 216,000 subscribers as of December 2021, Guichon hosts a slew of short 3-minute videos, including a recent holiday entry that features a Chocolate Drummer Boy. The instructional videos are fun, informative, and brief enough to binge a bunch at once. Divided into Chocolate Creations and Pastry Creations playlists, Guichon currently has over 50 instructional videos on his YouTube page. This experience no doubt helped him land the stellar cooking competition show on Netflix.

Has Almost 5 Million Instagram Followers

Surely spiked in the last few weeks following the release of School of Chocolate on Netflix, Guichon has a massive Instagram following that is quickly approaching the 5 million mark. With 4.8 million followers as of early December 2021, the numbers are sure to skyrocket the longer the show persists on the platform.

Aside from the gorgeous edible creations featured on his page, Guichon’s time traveling the globe is also a huge part of his online following. Time spent touring and cooking in Taiwan, Korea, Bejing, Milan, India, Romania, Greece, Mexico, London, and many more international cuisine hubs are all part of the Guichon Instagram experience.

Facebook Food Art Enthusiast

Believe it or not, Guichon’s biggest online following comes via Facebook, where he currently has 7.7 million followers (as of early December 2021). With more material than his other social media profiles, Guichon’s Facebook is loaded with marvelous food art photos.

Available for the public to view for free, Guichon seemingly posts every culinary creation he makes on Facebook for the whole world to see and become inspired by. He also advertises his brand on the site, with recent pics of his Amaury Guichon Dark Chocolate line, Magic Freeze Spray product, and his cookbook The Art of Flavor.

Married Longtime Girlfriend Fiona Bergson

During a COVID-19 wedding in the winter of 2020, Guichon married his longtime girlfriend Fiona Bergson (per blurred-reality.com). The Canadian native owns Imperial Tattoo Connexion in Montreal and works as a freelance photographer.

According to liverampup.com, the couple met in May of 2017 and tied the knot during the pandemic, which Fiona shared on her Instagram. The two currently reside in Las Vegas together and frequently log their travels online through various social media pages.

Net Worth

Thanks to various streams of revenue between his books, Masterclass, social media influence, his adored Netflix game show, and his busy day job, reports of Guichon’s net worth range anywhere from $8 to $9 million (per wiki.ng). Due to the exchange rates of the currencies he’s earned abroad, however, the figures are a little dicey.

Said to charge anywhere from $20-30,000 per pastry masterpiece, other outlets such as dailynewscatcher.com claim the mega-popular pastry chef is worth closer to $5 million. Either way, Guichon is currently doing pretty well for himself and his wife.
